Sony wouldn’t pay for it, it’s not worth it. Kojima likes to work on a single platform since you can get a more refined and polished experience from being on one platform as opposed to optimising for two. But he seems more loyal that most, and PlayStation has been good to him, so he wouldn’t abandon PS3, but they also wouldn’t want to miss out on the revenue that 360 would bring. Multiplatform it is, then. I’m not sure how involved he’ll be with the next MGS, but I’m sure he’ll be there.

Yeah. That’s what I think too. Considering the revenue Konami would generate from going multiplat it’d be silly not to, imo. Unless Sony want to give them large wads obv.

It’ll be multiplatform. Never in a million years be 360 exclusive.

360. Guaranteed. It’ll be multiplat.

Hmmm, you know maybe it has been a good splash of cold water this.

I mean I maintain that news like this is interesting, and the announced platforms does make for exciting news if you’re interested in the industry itself (which I am), but rushing in with a comment like, “The real question is which platform will it be announced for?” does maybe show I’ve been a bit too sucked in to the whole console war thing.

Actually the most important question is anything which will suggest the quality or direction of the game (who is producer, designer, any news on the story, is it still going to be about stealth etc.) and when is it likely going to be released etc. News about the game itself, and not which corporation has shelled out the most for exclusivity!

Yeah, it’s good to take a step back actually.. another soul saved Shatner

I don’t think that it matters that much anymore…

Out of the top 10 games on both PS3 and 360 on Metacritic, only 6 are exclusive to either platform.

[EDIT] On top of that, I’d only call one of them a system seller.

“…and possibly those with only one platform to play games on.”

Those people are more likely to be playing games or doing other non-game things than pouncing on videogames news moments after it’s been published.

Actions speak louder than words.

Rightly or wrongly, platform’s one of the key details in any reveal. There’s a war going on, you know.

We are on a videogaming news site, so bear in mind the comment was made in that context, and I think I’m right in saying that Pat might take a few minutes out of his day to post about the eventual platform MGS5 would appear on!

Only to people who spend more time arguing over games than they do playing them.

“Yes. This is the most important thing about games today.”

I dare say it’s of some interest

Yes. This is the most important thing about games today.

MGS5 for 360 would be fucking hilarious. That would be a great news moment.

The real question is which platform will it be announced for? I think the franchise has done all it’s going to do for the PS3, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it go multi platform.

MGS5: SPECULATION OF THE INTERNET

How about this: it’s not a new MGS, it’s a substance/subsistance type thing of an existing MGS.

Metal Gear Solid 5 the hunt for longer cut-scenes

By: Blerk

Blerk — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:12:47 +0000

Hmm. He didn’t actually say that that announcement was MGS5, though. And the meaning could quite easily have been tweaked somewhat by the translation.

I’m sceptical that we’ll see another so soon. But… y’know. These things happen. What else has Konami done in the last couple of years that’s been as successful as MGS4 was?
